Little Cupcake

Here she is, our perfect little Cupcake. I shot these with my new 50mm f/1.8 lens, it was the first time I used it. They are all SOTC (straight out of the camera), aside from the watermark applied in InDesign. I have too many projects lately to spend much time editing photos. This picture. Man. I think it has to be one of the most beautiful photos I've ever taken in my life. Please click on it to enlarge, Blogger makes it look all choppy below. (14 extra-special photos linked here)

MT Photography Workshop

MT Photography Workshop, a set on Flickr.

My mom set up a photography workshop for my birthday. A very knowledgeable and brilliant guy from Bozeman came to work with us. What a great day!

All shot in manual mode on ISO 200, auto white balance. I adjusted only my aperture and shutter speed for each photo.

Manual was very scary for me at first. I started out with totally white-out pics, and advanced to beautiful clarity by the end of the day.

The understanding I now have of how my camera works is very exciting. Thanks Mama!
